-Naavah -
" naavah baby you sure you wanna do this?"
" yea mrs Jameson I feel like I've over stayed my welcome."
" don't you say that na you know I've grown to love you just as much as Kayla and I know you been through a lot but never forget you will always have some where to come back to ."
A simple thank you was mutter .
Mrs Jameson had been nothing but good to me for the two years I've been here she acted as the mother I longed mine to have been .
But I couldn't bring myself to say I loved her tho . I couldn't even say I loved myself fully for that matter .
I had been in the system since I was 13 when my pops overdosed and my mom just left .
I don't know if she left the city , the state hell even the country she could be anywhere and I wouldn't care .
It was me and Najee' my older brother. but he was already 18 so he didn't have to by law.
So he left and said he would come back for me once he got himself right .
Thinking maybe that would be only a few months . But nah it was for 4 long years and two foster homes .
I use to cry when I was younger like how could he forget me he was my only family . I never got why we couldn't have just ran away and struggled together?
I struggled regardless. My first foster home wasn't anything near what mrs Jameson gave me .
You could tell I was just another check from the state and they didn't care if I was dead or alive or what went on in the house . That's all imma say no need to get back in my feelings about shit I can't change .
Anyways today was the day I would be out of the system and free to leave with my brother .
I'm one the fence about it because a lot has changed in 4 years but fuck it .
I don't plan to stay over a year though imma just save up and find My next hustle. whether it be going to college or simply just working I haven't decided yet .
I gathered the rest of my belongings and headed for the door before seeing Kayla on the step with saddened eyes.
" so you gone ?"
" yea Kay ."
" was it so bad here ? Was it me? "
Kayla newly turned 16 she was the sweetest girl I've met almost reminded of myself before the "madness" . If I did have a bond with anyone it would definitely be her at the end of the day I was jacking she was my sister and no one could tell me differently.
" you know you my nigga Kay . This isn't goodbye this is see you later. I'm just getting older I needa figure out who naavah really is . It has nothing to do with you or mom ." I said feeling weird as that foreign word rolled off my tongue
" you better call me all the time and pick me up I'm not kidding ." She said with her arms crossed
" I got you kid ."lightly chuckled
With that I put all my stuff in my 2007 Toyota Corolla .
I texted my cousin dejah and let her know I was coming through and my Best friend that I was done packing I was on my way to my brothers.
I was on the road to this new " start ".
--------------------------------
So this is the intro!
Her name is pronounced " nah - vey" and her brother ( augs fine self ) is " nah - gee" don't ask where they came from ask they momma 💁🏽😂
I changed most of the characters and their names I just had to keep my two zaddys Dave and augg tho so as long and they here errthingg litt .
This still takes place in New York and everything. It's just this has more I can do with it ya know? I felt like the whole step pops thing was basic plus it wouldn't be juicy if their wasn't a little rivalry.
